We will investigate how to solve an equation consisting of one variable
We have the following equation at hand:
[tex]-4k\text{ -10 = -5k}[/tex]The basic rule applied in solving equation like above is mathematical operations. We apply basic operations like:
[tex]\text{adding, subtracting, multiplying, division}[/tex]on both sides of the equation accompained by a variable or a number in an attempt to isolate the variable ( k ).
To isolate the variable ( k ) we need all the terms involving the variable ( k ) on one side of the equation.
We will add ( 4k ) on both sides of the equation as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -4k\text{ -10 + 4k= -5k + 4k} \\ (\text{ 4k - 4k ) - 10 = -k} \\ -10\text{ = -k} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now to remove the negative sign accompained by ( k ) on the right hand side of the equation. We wil multiply both sides with ( -1 ) as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -1\cdot(-10)\text{ = -1}\cdot(-k) \\ 10\text{ = k} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the value of ( k ) is:
[tex]10[/tex]
